A good night's sleep
At peace
One with your pillow
All the worries of the world, cease

I know that the cessation is temporary
Your problems don't instantly go away
But catching some calming zees, quiets
the madness and injects some ease into the fray

The billowed sheets become
a cool breeze against your skin
Your settled breathing, a soothing lullaby
a cluttered mind can relax and snuggle in

And the dreams that accompany that peace
I tend not to remember after such slumbering bliss
I'd imagine, under my feet, sapphire oceans and pecan beaches
Above, a golden speckled orb, each cotton ball, a feathery kiss

To rest this way every night
A bounty that I can't always reap
But I tell you, there's nothing quite like
a good night's sleep

Hodee...
Some of my dreams
mimic my reality
Some point to the future
like some sort of prophesy
But I find that my most
refreshing night's rest of all
occurs when those night time
images I fail to recall
No, there's nothing like
a good night's sleep

I enjoyed your flowback Brotha Hodee, thank you.
Yes, if they could all just blow away, that would be wonderful, but alas. Thank you queent, much appreciated sis.
Geez, I wish you could enjoy each and every night in deep slumber Rich. Thank you for your support on this.

This poem really spoke to me underneath the skin because sleeping is somewhat a kind of therapy for me. When I get sad and down, I go to sleep because that's the only time you dont have to THINK about so much. I'm learning how to put my trouble entirely in God's hands so I can be just as peaceful when I'm awake. I appreciate you putting this into words, beautiful words.

Thank you for such a kind response Phenomenon. Yes when we're asleep we don't have to actively think of those troubles, and God does help grant us that peace during our waking hours.
You can never have too many pillows. Being groggy all the time, puts such an extra weight upon us. Thank you So'ja, your kind words tell me that you can relate.

This was truely delightful.
Unfortunately a good nights sleep

When I am lucky enough to get one.
